Accountants always seem to find jobs.

Computer shit is now a flooded market with heavy competition with foreign coders from shitholes like India and Poland.

CNC operators are in huge demand, though.

I suggest you look around on the Department of Labor website and see what's supposed to increase in demand and is also not retardly simple to do.

Also, law is always a safe bet as society creates ever more convoluted laws on every aspect of life possibly conceivable.

Here's the government's best guess at what you can be and earn when you grow up: https://www.bls.gov/ooh/
(what >>1780868 was talking about I think. Though I'd advise against law; there's a gigantic glut of lawyers scraping by out there)

Narrow it down to what catches your interest and what you can stand. For both categories get some ballpark figures for jobs and their salaries. Add in quality of life shit (e.g. doctors have astronomical suicide rates, actuaries live dull lives in Omaha, etc.) and you'll have a good idea of what to do, whether that involves college or not.

Not true. If you go into $250,000 of debt to become a doctor in American medical school, sure, you have to work a decade or so to pay it off.

But the average student graduating a 4-year college in 2016 only owes like $30,000 in debt, with an average salary of like $35k for liberal arts, $50k for business, and $65k for engineering.

After taxes and student loan payments, that works out to ~$2,500, ~$3,000, ~$3,500 per month.

Switching jobs is a typical thing every few years. People totally switch fields/careers every decade, on average. If you're not a retard and save some of your money, you can do that easily.

Hours for jobs themselves can also vary. Lots of college-level work is 9-5, 40 hours a week. After commuting, that leaves a few hours every day and your entire weekend free. And that's if you totally write off your working hours (i.e. no shitposting from a cubicle, no banging secretaries on your lunch hour).

>going to college part time to get a degree but i dont want something useless

Good for you.

What are you good at? (math, logic, words?)

In any case, there's no reason to finalize any career decision until you've been in college for a little while and have taken a variety of courses -- that will help you decide what you're really interested in, and what you're good at.

You can, however, rule out at least half the majors right off the bat. And I'm not just talking about queer studies and A-A and women's studies, but film and communications and art and ...
